Five Stabbed Outside Tribeca Nightclub

2009_02_stabbingmap.jpg Five people out partying in Tribeca last night ended up stabbing victims after a fight broke out outside a nightclub. Three men and two women were stabbed a little after 2 a.m. outside of the Deco Lounge on Brodway in Tribeca. 21 year-old Mario Almedo was arrested on assault and criminal possession of a weapon charges for two of the stabbings, one of a 23-year-old man in the head and one to the neck of a 21-year-old woman. A bouncer at Deco told the News, "It was just a fight. No big deal." All of the victims were taken to St. Vincent's Hospital and expected to survive. The club has a bad reputation with neighbors—one employee at a local bodega told the paper, "Every Friday and Saturday night, they fight."

"It was just a fight, no big deal," said a bouncer at the club." No problem for the bouncer who is out on parole after serving three months of a 15 to 20 year sentence for murdering his ex girlfriend and her two brothers last May.

He's right it's no big deal. Let them kill each other.

I went back and looked at the crime scene photos again. Based on the bloodied clothing I would guess the victim was not from the immediate neighborhood.

Broadway is part of Tribeca?
